I Find My Escape Where Life Is

Life brings the world;

    I see, I perceive.
I crawl, I walk, I learn and unlearn,
Magic unfolds the mirth - 
And I realize what life is.


Life gives me voice, I speak.
   I stammer, I murmur - 
Life kisses me, I win.
Pace pulls my arm, I run.
I strive, I bleed, I search for escape;
Life offers its lap - 
And I rest in peace.


Life hurts hard, I stoop, I fall.
    Life holds my hand, I stand;
I hug it tight, I smile.
Life slaps me again, I shatter - 
Death comes for rescue and I utter : 
"You are not my escape but life is"
